A good source of up to date information and resources is the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS). Here is a link to their COVID-19 vaccines FAQ page:

  • people aged 12+ can access the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines. 

  • children aged 5-11 can access the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.
